2004 Mudslide, West Coast Cycling Events Corner Brook, Newfoundland

Hi everyone! The 2004 cycling season is here and we are looking for some volunteers to help out with some tasks at the events (see below). It would be a great oppurtunity for people to get involved with the cycling events and help the sport grow with more organization and new ideas. If you would like to get involved we are having a meeting Thursday (May 20th) at the YMCA 6:30 - 7:30 in the evening.

May 23rd, (this Sunday) at Strawberry Hill is the first race of the season and Registration is at 11am, racing starts at 12pm. We hope to see everyone out. The course is not too difficult and there will be different number of laps for different age and sport categories.
